Optimizing hospital security with identity management software

Need for security must be balanced with the individual's need to easily move about the hospital


In a hospital, the need for security must be balanced with the individual’s need to easily move about the facility, according to an article on the Source Security website. 

Intelligent and purpose-built software can provide a solution to address these concerns and can add depth to the hospital’s overall administrative safety and security operation, the article said.

Automated physical identity and access management (PIAM) software is gaining traction in healthcare facilities. PIAM, integrated with IT, can ensure immediate updated physical access privileges for each person.

PIAM aids security reinforcement by providing a means to create an identity in the hospital’s IT system for every individual in the facility. Visitors can be vetted by visitor management operators via display of a friends and family list. Once on site, visitors can be tracked.
